In today’s NACO Lunch Break, Stephanie Morin, second flute, performs Sourmagic by American composer and flutist Alice Jones.
After the pandemic began last year, Alice Jones decided to compose a series of four pieces in a project called #TinyEfforts2020, which she made available for anyone to play, on any instrument they like. This was a way for her to stay in touch with her musical community, support people around her, and elevate BIPOC artists.
The piece Stephanie is performing, Sourmagic, is taken from the second installment, #TinyEfforts2021. If you wish to download and perform these pieces (however you like!), please visit Alice Jones’s website.
Stephanie Morin joined the NAC Orchestra as Second Flute and Piccolo in 2020 and is currently on faculty at the University of Ottawa. In addition to her teaching at uOttawa, Stephanie has been a guest speaker and teacher at programs such as OAcademy, Fluture Music Studio, and Flute On The Edge. She is also an active chamber musician and has performed in NAC chamber music concerts and at Ottawa Chamberfest.
Before her tenure at the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Stephanie was Assistant Principal Flute with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and Principal Flute of the Laval and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean orchestras. She has also performed with ensembles such as Les Violons du Roy, the Orchestre Métropolitain, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal.
Stephanie pursued her music studies in Montreal, first at Marianopolis College with Carolyn Christie, then at McGill University with Denis Bluteau, and finally at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal, where she completed a Master’s in Flute Performance with Marie-Andrée Benny.
